Glad you like it! (I was quite pleased with myself for thinking of it last night; in fact, now I kinda want to see that movie. Perfect brainless summer fare.)

I have no idea if your fictional universe actually contains space-to-ground paratroops, like David Weber's ultra-elite "drop commandos" or Heinlein's Marine-like "capsule troopers", but I figure it would be a popular combat fantasy whether it's real or not.
